    I have stock 4 lug wheels on my 70. I want to know what the biggest size tire will fit on them. Any input?

    It depends on what wheels and backspace you use.

    Well i would like to use the stock 4 lug wheels. I know I'm limited because of the wheel size.

    Do you know the width on those wheels?

    i do not. I have 185/70 14s on them now. I would like to have a bit more sidewall to maybe give it a little better stance.
